I was down at the New Amsterdam
Staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer
You know she dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
We all want something beautiful
Man, I wish I was beautiful
So come dance this silence down through the morning
Sha la la la la la la la la yea
Uh huh
Yea
Cut up, Maria!
Show me some of them Spanish dances
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
'Cause I want to be someone who believes
Yea
Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
And we stare at the beautiful women
She's looking at you
Ah, no, no, she's looking at me
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you
You can never be lonely
Well, I wanna paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
Yea you know, gray is my favorite color I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
Mr. Jones and me look into the future
Yea and we stare at the beautiful women
She's looking at you
Uh, I don't think so. She's looking at me
Standing the spotlight
I bought myself a gray guitar
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely
I want to be a lion
Yea, everybody wants to pass as cats
We all want to be big, big stars
Yea, but we got different reasons for that
Believe in me, because I don't believe in anything
And I want to be someone to believe
To believe, to believe to believe, yea
Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
Yeah and we stare at the beautiful women
She's perfect for you
Man, there's got to be somebody for me
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
When everybody loves you,
Ah, son, that's just about as funky as you can be
Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me
We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why and we don't know how
But when everybody loves me, I'm going to be just about as happy as can be
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars
